If a city's population growth is driven mainly by migration, which pattern is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Arrivals will clearly exceed departures

When migration is the main driver of a city's population growth, the city must receive more people than it loses. In demographic terms, this means net migration is positive: arrivals exceed departures by a substantial amount. Births and deaths can still affect the total population, but they are not the main explanation in the situation described. The city may attract migrants because of jobs, education, services, safety, or other opportunities.

Therefore, option A is correct. Equal births and deaths would make natural increase zero, but they do not describe migration-led growth. A city can gain population without expanding its legal land area, so option C is too absolute. Migration also does not make the death rate zero. The word “mainly” allows other factors to contribute, but it requires arrivals to exceed departures if migration is producing growth.
